Comments about MSR WhisperLite Stove Service Kit:
I was hesitant to buy this kit after reading the earlier reviews. My 20+ years old stove started leaking fuel like crazy after i used white gas in stead of unleaded fuel (as I did during the last 22 years). I guess a side effect of the white gas was, that it cleaned all the o-rings too. So gas everywhere. I bought a new pump and a service kit, just to be sure. In this service kit is, next to all kind of spare parts, also a very detailed discription of how the clean and repair the stoves. Both for the new models (the "red" ones) as well as my old "grey" ones. So I replaced all the o-rings on my old pump and voilá: it workes as always. The kit has all o-rings for both models and plenty of other space parts for both of them. I can not relate to the previous negative reviews, worked for me as a champ. Only downside is the price: 30 bucks for the kit seems a little bit on the high end, but then, 30 bucks every 20 years, I guess that's okay.

This product is meant for new stoves. MSR makes new stoves all of the time. It works for exactly what it is intended for. MSR makes some of the best products especially in the stove market and this accessory is no exception.

Comments about MSR WhisperLite Stove Service Kit:
Thanks Salaam for the nitrile tip. Repeat for emphasis: does not include parts for older Whisperlite (International) stoves. Nozzles for pre-shaker jet models not included & not available in stores separately. I did use other parts to replace worn out pump parts, though.

Comments about MSR WhisperLite Stove Service Kit:
Do not buy this replacement kit if you do not have the latest model WL stove. I just called MSR and they said my 5yr old stove has a different O-ring and my only option is to buy a whole new pump assembly.
Also, if you are in the same situation and need a replacement (true MSR seals are unavailable to you), try an auto parts store. MSR stated the rings are made of "nitrile" and made it sound like it would be hard to find. I contacted the nearest auto supply store and they said they have various sizes in nitrile. Will try to check it out today.
Seems MSR is more concerned with selling new products than providing service to former customers.
